The red light flowing from the black dragon's heart enveloped it, transforming it as if it were soaked in blood.
The green eyes stained with sorrow as they looked at the sword soon turned to anger.
The green eyes stained with sorrow as they looked at the sword soon turned to anger.
I stood up, holding the sword I had put down for a moment to check on Perdes' condition.
I, who had caught a glimpse of the still unconscious Perdes, ran towards the Emperor who was still struggling halfway in space.
I charged forward, cutting through the wind, but My attack did not reach the Emperor.
Kakang-
It was because someone with a hood pulled down low had blocked it.
I pushed my opponent away strongly, and his hood was removed as he was pushed back helplessly, revealing his cold silver hair.
“...Sir Aldor.”
I called his name, but Aldor did not respond and instead adjusted his grip on his sword. The tip of the sword radiated a murderous intent to kill me.
One by one, the Duke's servants began to appear around Aldor.
The servants had little fighting ability, so it didn't really matter how many showed up, but the problem was Aldor.
It was impossible to face the Emperor while dealing with Aldor.
There was no way the Emperor would wait until Aldor was defeated.
Should I just ignore Aldor and deal with the Emperor?
Aldor couldn't wait for that moment of hesitation and pounced on me again.
My sword and Aldor's sword clashed.
Aldor, who met my eyes from a close distance, frowned and soon began to shed tears.
"...Sorry."
A pitiful voice leaks out from between slightly parted lips.
“I don’t want to... Miss..."
Although the words came in staccato bursts, I seemed to know what Aldor was trying to say.
I guess he wants to apologize for what he's done so far.
Pretending to be attached to the Emperor and acting as a double spy.
I didn't think Aldor had done anything wrong.
He must have moved because he thought it was right.
I guess that's because he thought that was the only way to protect me.
If he really remembered what happened in my second life, he would have been even more anxious and nervous.
“You must... kill me.”
“Sir Aldor.”
“Without killing me... nothing can be finished.”
As Aldor momentarily released his strength, ny sword, which was facing him, cut the hem of his clothes.
If I had not panicked and hurriedly pulled my sword back, it would have cut his skin.
Diabolos was clearly engraved on Aldor's chest, revealed through the open collar.
I, who saw that, bit ny lip so hard that it bled.
Aldor pleaded, tears streaming down his face.
“Please let me...”
“I won’t kill you.”
I spoke firmly and hugged Aldor tightly.
Aldor's eyes widened at the sudden contact. His hand holding his sword flinched but did not rise.
“I don’t want to lose anyone precious to me anymore.”
Losing my father and Perdes was enough.
“So instead of saying you’ll die, tell me you’ll live a long time and stay by my side.”
Red tears flowed down my cheeks and soaked the desolate ground.
“Tell me you will stay with me until the day I die.”
"Miss."
“Please, I beg you.”
Did heaven hear of my earnest wish?
A red light exploded out from the ground soaked in my tears, spreading out in all directions.
The servants who were touched by the red light fell down like marionettes with their strings cut off.
Diabolos, which was clearly engraved on Aldor's chest, also disappeared.
At the same time, the order to kill me that had been filling his head completely disappeared.
It is a departure from the Emperor's submission.
He thought he would never be able to escape again.
Aldor's eyes shook greatly at the unbelievable reality. The remaining tears fell down.
Aldor and my servants knew that they had been released from the Emperor's submission, but there was no time to embrace, rejoice, or be moved.
“Adele Leopold!”
Because the Emperor, who broke through the space and came out, roared so loudly that it made the volcano shake.
The two arms that I had cut off had grown back into new ones, and they had grown even bigger.
When the Emperor stamped his foot, the ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
I readjusted My sword and stared at the Emperor.
Aldor also tried to fight the Emperor but was stopped by me
“Sir Aldor, please move the fallen to a safe place.”
If things continue like this, we might all be trampled to death by the Emperor's feet.
Aldor nodded as if he thought that was right.
“I'll be right back.”
Why does it sound so good to hear you say you'll come back?
“I'll wait.”
I smiled and gave a short answer, then ran towards the Emperor.
When Byblos arrived, belatedly realizing that something was wrong, Adele was fighting a monster.
Byblos muttered in bewilderment as he looked at the monster that had grown even larger than before.
“How the hell did that guy get out of there?”
He thought he wouldn't be able to get out of it.
Even dragons have a hard time breaking through the time barrier and returning to reality, so he thought it would be impossible, but a monster like that managed to do it.
It was disconcerting, but it was a good thing because now he could definitely deal with that hybrid.
As Byblos was about to walk out with both arms crossed, Adele, who had noticed his arrival, shouted.
“Don’t come out!”
Byblos took his first step back and looked at Adele fighting the monster.
Adele, who had just landed next to Byblos, spoke again.
“Never come forward. If the Great Sage comes forward here, things will get even more chaotic.”
That wasn't a wrong statement. In fact, Byblos was trying to materialize to fight the monster.
Even if he hadn't appeared, he would have poured out an incredible amount of magic, and half of the volcano would have blown away.
There was a very high possibility that a landslide would have occurred and the ox-drawn carriage house below would have been destroyed, as well as the manor land.
Still, he was going to fight because he thought defeating the monster was the priority, but he was a little surprised when Adele stopped him.
“Are you okay with fighting alone?”
"I'm okay."
“Really? It looks like you’ll lose.”
“You’re telling me? Who?”
When Adele asked with a slightly creepy smile, Byblos flinched and closed his mouth.
“Don’t worry, we’ll win.”
Yes, I will definitely win.
I could never give up on protecting myself, my territory, and my loved ones.
Also, to avenge my father and Perdes, I must do so.
“I will win.”
As Adele gripped the sword with a strong will, the light flowing from the dragon's heart enveloped her body as if in response.
[Are you ready to accept me?]
It was a voice that was both unfamiliar and familiar.
The voice I heard in the basement.
Adele nodded without a moment's hesitation.
“Of course.”
At that moment, as the Dragon Heart shattered, the ancestor of the Leopold family, who had been asleep for a long time, woke up.
Kuaang-
The air shook as the red dragon's afterimage roared. It was incomparable to when the Emperor roared.
The afterimage left a long echo as it was absorbed into Adele's body.
Then, the once refreshing green eyes turned red, and dragon scales appeared on Adele's skin as if she were wearing dragon skin.
Adele held the sword that felt like it had become a part of her body and ran for the final battle.
“Oh, oh, oh.”
For a moment, Byblos, who had met his long-lost compatriot, laughed and scratched his head.
“I guess I’ll have to cancel what I said about you.”
The child who he thought was just a kid has grown into a great adult.
Maybe an adult better than himself.
“I was worried for nothing.”
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have come forward.
It was annoying to worry about nothing and get involved in troublesome things, but since it came to this, he decided to do everything he could.
Turning around, he soon found Perdes lying on the ground, covered in blood.
It was said that the fighting was so fierce that more than half of a large volcano was blown away and part of the majestic Duke Leopold's residence was destroyed.
Traces of the battle were clearly visible throughout the territory.
However, no one among the people of the territory remembered whether there had been any fighting.
Oddly enough.
Thud-
A body without arms and legs collapsed on the floor in an ugly state.
With the power he gained by giving up being human, he was able to heal injured parts and regenerate lost parts, but there is a limit to everything.
“No, no!”
What a limit.
What did you do to gain this power, only to lose it all just because of limitations?
“No!”
The Emperor could not accept this fact and screamed.
The voice was so horrible, like scraping iron, that Adele frowned and commented.
“It’s noisy.”
The golden eyes looking at Adele were distorted with anger.
It was all because of Adele Leopold.
If only she, if only that kid, hadn't existed, it would have been successful.
Not only would he have gained the eternal life he so desperately wanted, he would also have gained the power to turn back time!
“If only you weren’t here...!”
“I would have succeeded...!”
Crunch.
“I told you it was noisy.”
When his face was crushed, the Emperor could no longer move his snout carelessly.
“It’s quiet now.”
Adele finally felt satisfied and looked at the sun rising in the distance.
The unusually long dawn has finally come to an end.
I, who had caught a glimpse of the still unconscious Perdes, ran towards the Emperor who was still struggling halfway in space.
I charged forward, cutting through the wind, but My attack did not reach the Emperor.
